Procedure
Step 1

AB - Outside leg measurement

(¾ in) ease. Square the line from C.

CE - Equals CD. Extend DC to E. Draw

arc line above E, pivoting at D.

AF - Crotch depth plus 2.5 cm (1 in)

ease. Mark F on AB.

GH - Equals DE. Draw the through F

parallel to DE.

4
Step 2

GI - Equals AF minus 1.25 cm (1/2 in).

Square the lineup from G.

HJ - ½ FH. Extend GH to J.

HK - ½ HJ

KL - Equals GI plus 5 cm (2 in). Draw a

line from K, touching the outer edge of
arc.

GM - Equals KJ

GN - 4 cm (1 ½ in). Draw a diagonal

line from G. Draw a curved line from D
through N to M.

KO - 3 cm (1 ¼ in). Draw a diagonal

from L through O to J.

Step 3

GP - Equals FB. Square the line down

from G.

KQ - Equals FB.
Square the line down from K.

PQ – Connect

PR - ½ PD

RS - Square the line across from R to S

on KQ. Draw slightly curved lines from
